☀ Tʜᴇ Hᴇᴀᴛ-


	Auden Caper would happily spend her summer in the recesses of her room.
	When Auden’s lawyer prodigy mother suddenly gets a promotion into the high chair of said job, Auden decides ditch a lonely summer filled with textbooks and stale milk.
	Packing her bags, she decides to go to sunny California, where her eccentric and scatter-brained Aunt Meredith lives.

☀Tʜᴇ Sᴜɴʙᴜʀɴ-

	Auden doesn’t do sun….or water for that matter. Born and raised in Portland, Auden begins to wonder what she’s gotten herself into.
	With her happy go lucky Aunt there to guide her transition, Auden can’t seem to connect how her unorganized, bubbly aunt is related to her strict, disciplined mother.
	What’s even worse is the fact that despite Fortuna Isle being a gorgeous place with water-colored skies and crystalline oceans, Auden doesn’t seem to fit in with her sun kissed, boisterous peers.
	Because the fact of the matter is, when Auden tries to tan, she gets sunburned.

☀ Tʜᴇ Dʀᴏᴡɴɪɴɢ-

        When Parker Prince quite literally finds her in a state of questionable sanity, Auden is suddenly introduced to the idea of spending her summer with a boy who 1) Never tucks in his shirt, 2) fluently speaks the language of sarcasm and 3) works at the aquarium (the best job in the world in his opinion).

	The fact that he swims with sharks isn't the weirdest thing about him though. The thing about Parker Prince is that he believes in only one, absolute, truth-

	You don’t drown. You Just Keep Swimming.

51 parts Complete Mature
Do your genes, your parents, teachers, or your master determine who you will be in life? Can they set your value in the universe? 650 years ago the known species of the universe came together and signed the Alliance, a document that would help each race find its place in the universe. It granted freedom to some and the scant protection of slavery to others. Into this society a handful of children are born who will change it forever, if they can survive to adulthood. Here is the origin story of two of those children. Hathu is born to a man determined to make the universe bow to him and his species. Since he learned to talk, Hathu has been a disappointment to his father. He doesn't want to become a warrior, and he refuses to assert his dominance. When he accidentally overhears his father plotting against the Ir'Klahn empire, can Hathu stop him? Mik is born with no rights, destined to become a lifelong slave. His mother tries to protect him from this fate by running away and finding a home for them on a trading ship that travels from world to world. They are safe for now, but how long can they hide from the best trackers in the universe? This is the first book in the My Kingdom Come series. Updates every Tuesday. :) My 2021 Nanowrimo so please excuse the unedited condition of the story. Be warned: there is violence, rape, murder, abuse, self harm and suicidal thoughts in this story. I do not post trigger warnings.
